Ageratina altissima 'Chocolate' syn. Eupatorium rugosum 'Chocolate'

(Not the best photo but...) I'd forgotten that the flowers on this plant were so pretty. I'd grown it for the foliage 🖤💜🖤

Another unusual one

So unusual that after I bought it I realised I already had one 🙄 There's a fabulous nursery near here that has lots of unusual plants... https://larchcottage.co.uk/cms/home @rachelbrooks

Doh! 🙈 we’ve all done it! 😬😂 that looks an interesting place...good job I’m not nearer! 😂😂

It's wonderful. You'll have to visit when you eventually get yourself up here. You have a car don't you 🤔😉 @rachelbrooks

Well I don’t at the moment! It’s broken! 😂 but yes, I do and yes, I will have to visit...there are so many places on my list!

I don't know I'm afraid Laura. It's pretty though isn't it @columbiariver

Oops! Sorry to be insensitive 😥 Hope it's back on the road again soon @rachelbrooks

😂 it’s ok, he’s in the hospital, they’re looking after him! 👍🏼

Wish him a speedy recovery @rachelbrooks

I've been at Edinburgh Botanic Gardens today Laura and they had it planted in huge blocks. Looked great given that it is November. I will post some photos later @columbiariver

Thanks 😂 will do! And Laura, Eupatorium is Joe Pye weed 👍🏼 @columbiariver although I’ve never seen this colouring before 💚

This is going to have to compete with Crocosmia Lucifer, but I think it will cope
